6 Cheap Styling Hacks That Make Any Outfit Look More Luxe

Welcome to #WhoWhatWearing, a series in which we highlight you, our stylish community of readers. Each of the following looks came straight from a photo you tagged us in on Instagram. Want to be featured next time? You guessed it: Use #WhoWhatWearing on the outfit posts you want us to see.

You might assume that in order to create expensive-looking outfits you need to invest in expensive pieces, but that's not always the case. Sure, an endless budget definitely gets you some pretty luxurious outfits, but so does having a few savvy styling hacks up your sleeve. If you find yourself wanting to make the most of your clothes and create outfits that look ultra-luxurious on the cheap, you've come to the right place. Boy, do I have some outfit tips in store for you.

There are little tricks for when you're shopping or getting dressed that can make any outfit look more elevated. Whether it's adding a belt to your everyday jeans outfit or shopping for certain fabrics that look expensive at literally any price, keep reading to discover these tips, see how fashion girls are putting them to the test, and then shop affordable pieces to nail each look.

Add a belt to your favorite trousers or jeans, or think a bit outside the box and cinch up a blazer or dress with the addition of a waist belt. Despite their "boring" reputation, belts can do wonders to an outfit and make it look instantly more put-together.  I wouldn't be surprised if people assumed you spent far more on your outfit than you really did.

Monochromatic ensembles, but especially an all-white outfit, automatically look more expensive. Try mixing shades of cream, white, and beige for a luxe look.

We recently learned the French girl way to make cheap clothes look more expensive (thank you, Jeanne Damas), and it's as simple as ordering the next size up to achieve a slouchy, oversize look. We recommend trying it out with basics like blazers, tees, high-waisted trousers.

Silk and satin fabrics have a luxurious quality to them that make them appear more pricey than they tend to really be. Use this to your advantage by incorporating a satin skirt, dress, or top into your outfit rotation.

Shop the matching Camille Twist-Front Top ($125)

Polished knits are the micro-trend we're loving most this fall since they make for an ultra-elevated outfit, no matter how much you actually spent on them.

Shop the matching Felix Midi Skirt ($95).
Shop the matching Slit Knitted Skirt ($80).

Leave it to fashion girls to find creative new ways to layer. In our minds, innovative layering always equals a well-thought-out outfit, and right now it's all about layering with jackets—a blazer underneath an overcoat, to be exact.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
